The U.N. bureaucracy has grown to elephantine proportions. Now that the Cold War is over, we are asking that elephant to do gymnastics. – Madeleine Albright
Maybe if everybody in leadership was a woman, you might not get into the conflicts in the first place. But if you watch the women who have made it to the top, they havent exactly been non-aggressive – including me. – Madeleine Albright
I know that war is very cruel and that life is harder when you arent able to live in the place you called home. – Madeleine Albright
Women have to be active listeners and interrupters – but when you interrupt, you have to know what you are talking about. – Madeleine Albright
A democracy which makes or even effectively prepares for modern, scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic. No country can be really well prepared for modern war unless it is governed by a tyrant, at the head of a highly trained and perfectly obedient bureaucracy. – Aldous Huxley
Give me the money that has been spent in war and I will clothe every man, woman, and child in an attire of which kings and queens will be proud. I will build a schoolhouse in every valley over the whole earth. I will crown every hillside with a place of worship consecrated to peace. – Charles Sumner
